Carpenters Workshop Gallery

Design Art and Functional Sculpture are frankly very awkward classifications and i find lots of the work in the Carpenters Gallery Workshop exactly that, a bit awkward. Its all about the surface (finish). I am totally into the idea of editions of furniture, i like to change my products slightly as i receive feedback (and live with them myself) and this eliminates the impersonal, static process of mass production. Surely though, the concept of editions should be about learning, being better, and not primarily concerned with notions of exclusivity or collectability.
All that said, i think Marc Quinn's marble series is quite brilliant! His understanding and relationship, of and with the material is seriously accomplished and successful.
